The Golden Age Chapter 84: Changming Garden

In the lobby of Hangzhou Cishifu, Qin Xiao was tasting West Lake Longjing tea. Although to him, wine is more flavorful than tea, but this cup of tea is Fan Yang’s heart, and Qin Xiao is naturally happy. Common products.

"How does it taste?" Fan Yang looked at Qin Xiao with a smile.

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "The adults also know that the next official is a rough person who does not understand the tea ceremony, but this tea is fragrant in the mouth, it should be a rare good tea."

"You tell me, this West Lake Longjing only produces one season of spring tea a year, and the output is not much." Fan Yang looked in a good mood and explained: "Every year I go to the court to the adults, plus the provincial governors. You have to prepare a serving. The West Lake Longjing that ordinary people drink is just a name, not as pure as this. The tea is made of spring rain, which is specially stored, and the old man has to have this one."

Qin Xiao hurriedly tasted a couple of sips and said with a smile: "Such precious tea, you can't waste it."

"Qin Shaoqing don't have to worry." Fan Yang smiled and said, "Hangzhou Yuan's business is the tea business. He respects this Longjing tea every year. This time Shaoqing has a life-saving grace to the Yuan family. In the future, your tea will be indispensable. "Sighed, picked up his teacup, picked up the teacup, and dialed the tea foam, but did not drink the tea immediately, but was a little dazed at the tea.

"What happened to the old man?"

"Nothing, nothing." Fan Yang smiled slightly and sighed softly: "The old man just thought, will I have a chance to drink such good tea in the future."

Qin Xiao was startled, but Fan Yang put down his teacup, his expression became solemn: "The Jiangnan is in great chaos, and An Xing is stabbed. No matter which one, the old man's position as the governor is still at the end. This time, he can keep it. The old life is already Amitabha." Looking at Qin Xiao said, "Shaoqing, I would like to invite you to drink tea today. There is nothing else. Many officials in Hangzhou have unpredictable wealth and lives, and many of them are too. The old man recommended to the court, and this time he is likely to be involved. The old man only asked Shaoqing to turn around and speak good things to these people at the court, and even if he could not keep his official position, he would try to save their lives."

Qin Xiao frowned and asked: "But the court has a will to come over?"

"I will come sooner or later." Fan Yang smiled reluctantly: "Shaoqing is respected by the saints, and this time he is effective in rebellion, naturally nothing will happen, but we people oversight first, and failed to protect I am happy and considerate, and offended the Prime Minister of the country. Naturally, catastrophe is imminent."

Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "My lord, An Xinghou was assassinated. It happened suddenly, no wonder my lord."

"That's what I said, but the prime minister of the country doesn't think that way." Fan Yang smiled bitterly: "Speaking of something that shouldn't be said, we are all princesses to help, this time An Xinghou was killed, the prime minister of the country Not only must he take revenge for Anxinghou, but he will also take this opportunity to suppress the princess. He avenges the child and does something to us. The princess may not be able to protect it with all his strength. The most important thing is that even if the princess wants shelter, the saint may not be there. Will agree, so the old man is already very clear about his end."

Qin Xiao thoughtfully, Fan Yang smiled and said: "Don’t think too much about Shaoqing. The old man said this is not to plead for himself, and he will never involve Shaoqing. He just hopes that Shaoqing can protect others if he has the opportunity. .....!"

"My lord, if we can find out the origin of the assassin as soon as possible, we may be able to redeem the merits, and the court may be able to open up a side to the adults."

"We are investigating the origins of the assassins. There is no clue." Fan Yang sighed, "In the end, it must be investigated by Superintendent Ziyi." After a pause, he asked: "Yes, Shaojian Chen's situation. How?"

"He is already over there

Stayed for five days. "Qin Xiao said: "I went there two days ago. Dao Aunt Luoyue has superb medical skills, and she just dragged him back from the gate of the ghost. Although he had escaped from the dead, he hadn't woken up yet. According to Dao Aunt Luoyue, it would take him at least two days before he woken up. My lord, now we just wait for Chen Shaojian to wake up and see if we can get a clue to the assassin from his mouth. If Chen Shaojian provides a clue, we will find out the assassin's origins and even arrest him, and the adults will naturally be able to make up for it. "

Fan Yang sighed: "Now I only hope that Chen Shaojian can wake up sooner."

Suddenly heard footsteps, the two followed the sound, only to see Chang Shi Sha Deyu hurriedly entering the house, and even forgot to report in advance. Fan Yang couldn't help frowning slightly. Although his future is uncertain, it is still Hangzhou after all. As for the governor, Shangguan was also the most taboo for his subordinates to enter without reporting.

"My lord!" Sha Deyu looked nervous. Seeing Fan Yang's face seemed a little ugly, he immediately realized that he was rude, but he couldn't care about it. He hurried forward and said, "I just got the report, the leader of Changsun entered the city. !"

"The leader of Changsun?" Fan Yang didn't recover for a while, but immediately thought: "Who? Changsun Yuanxin? He...he is back?"

Qin Xiao also reacted.

"I'm back." Sha Deyu said: "Bringing more than a hundred cavalry into the city, it seems to be coming to the Governor's Mansion. The captain of the city defending did not dare to stop him, so he sent someone to report quickly, and... This team of cavalry also guards a carriage."

Qin Xiao was startled at first, but immediately realized something, and stood up and said: "It's a princess!"

"Your Royal Highness?" Fan Yang also got up immediately: "Shaoqing, you mean the princess is here?"

Qin Xiaodao: "We sent someone to report the news of An Xinghou's assassination to Your Royal Highness. When your Royal Highness learned about it, he naturally knew that it was not a trivial matter. He must have come to Hangzhou to handle the matter personally."

Fan Yang was a little nervous, and hurriedly ordered Sha Deyu: "You hurry up to gather officials above Rank 6 and let them quickly come to the Governor's Mansion and wait for your Highness to drive." He looked down at his civilian clothes and said to Qin Xiao. : "Shaoqing, the old man wants to change his official robe, you should also quickly clean up, let's go to welcome the princess together. By the way, which door does the princess enter the city from?"

"East Gate!"

"After changing the official robes, immediately go to the east gate to greet him." Fan Yang was a little frantic.

Sha Deyu was about to go out to gather officials, Qin Xiao called to stay: "Wait a minute." Then he said to Fan Yang: "My lord, I'm afraid it's too late. The princess has already entered the city. If you come directly to Cishi Mansion, that's it. That's it. The princess did not send any notice in advance, so she probably didn't want too many people to know that she had arrived in Hangzhou. If you gather many officials to pick you up, the princess will be unhappy."

"Not bad." Fan Yang also reacted: "Thanks to Shaoqing's reminder. Sha Changshi doesn't have to call other officials. After the princess arrives, he will see what the princess means, and then see if he wants to send other officials. Call me here." What came to mind, asked: "Changmingyuan can be cleaned up? You quickly send people to clean up. In addition, you can send troops to block the road around Changmingyuan, so that no one is allowed to approach. Yes, go to the prison, Find Gan Jingshan and ask him to take the soldiers and horses of the Hangzhou Battalion to guard the garden."

Sha Deyu arched his hands and said yes. He was about to turn around and go out. A figure came over and almost ran into him. When Sha Deyu could see clearly, it turned out that it was not Zhao Qing.

"Old Zhao, in a hurry, what's the matter?" Sha Deyu took a step back and frowned.

"Changmingyuan......!" Zhao Qing was out of breath, and said to Fan Yang: "My lord, Changmingyuan......

Go to Changming Garden, and Changsun leads soldiers to protect a carriage to Changming Garden...! "

Hangzhou is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. There are so many officials who communicate with each other. Therefore, the Hangzhou Post House can be said to be the most magnificent post house in the entire Datang.

The local state post houses are divided into east and west halls. The east hall accepts officials of Grade 3 and above, while the staff below Grade 3 are staying in the West Hall.

However, people from the royal family are naturally not allowed to stay in the post.

Not many emperors of the past have left Beijing to go south. Even if there is an emperor traveling south, they will make preparations early. The place will build palaces or vacate the most magnificent mansions in the place to welcome them. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty When Emperor Taizong went south, in order to welcome the sacred driver, the Jiangnan family jointly funded the construction of the magnificent Changming Garden. It happened more than thirty years ago.

For more than 30 years, although Changming Garden was idle, the place did not dare to neglect. It always sent people to keep it clean, but if it was damaged, it would be repaired immediately. Therefore, to this day, Changming Garden is also the emperor. The most majestic palace in the south of the Yangtze River.

Also, Emperor Taizong had a decree back then. If the prince and princess go south, they are also eligible to live in Changming Garden.

Fan Yang heard that the grandson Yuanxin was guarding the carriage and went to Changming Garden. He was completely sure that the princess was really here. Without hesitation, he ordered: "Sha Changshi, Zhao don’t drive, you two quickly pack up and follow the book. The officials went to visit Changmingyuan together." Then he said to Qin Xiao: "Shaoqing, you also go to prepare here. Let's meet at the main entrance and go together."

Changming Garden is located in the east of the city. When the site was selected and constructed with great care, there was a lake in front of the yard, and a piece of artificial rockery was specially built behind the yard. There are houses, quiet and abnormal.

When Qin Xiao and his party arrived at Changming Garden, it was too late, and Sha Deyu also issued a transfer order to the deputy commander of the Hangzhou Battalion to deploy troops and horses to guard Changming Garden.

Gan Jingshan has always taken the Hangzhou Camp to guard the Hangzhou Great Prison. However, in recent days, a large number of prisoners have been overturned and released. Therefore, there are not many prisoners left in the prison, and naturally there is no need for too many soldiers and horses to guard, Gan After receiving the transfer order, Jingshan immediately mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses to Changming Garden.

The roads around Changming Garden are blocked, and all around are guarded.

There were also dozens of elite guards from Hangzhou Battalion outside the main gate. After Fan Yang and others arrived, the guards immediately went in and told them. Soon they saw a military officer in black scales coming out of the garden and saw Fan Yang. He arched his hands and said: "The humble general has seen the adults!"

"Leader of the grandson, you are back." Fan Yang smiled and nodded: "The old man is very pleased to hear that you have made great contributions in Suzhou. Is that right, can the princess be in the garden?"

Qin Xiao looked at the general in front of him, and saw that his face was dark, but his face was sharp and angular, and his heroic spirit came out. He thought that the grandson Sheguan was a great beauty, and the eldest Sun Yuanxin was her elder brother. , Sure enough, it is also handsome.

"The princess knows that all the adults have come to see you, but it is too late. The princess has worked hard all the way and disappeared today." Fan Yang is the eldest Sun Yuanxin, but the eldest Sun Yuanxin is also very polite: "The princess said you must have been very kind recently. Tired, go back and rest, see you tomorrow." After a glance, his eyes fell on Qin Xiao and asked: "Are you Qin Shaoqing?"

Qin Xiao arched his hands and said: "It is Qin Xiao!"

"The princess has an order, Xuan Qin Shaoqing will be there alone!" Longsun Yuanxin raised his hand and said: "Qin Shaoqing, please!"
